Mechatronics specialist Marquardt expands its presence in Thuringia

Thuringia's Minister of Economy Wolfgang Tiefensee expressed his joy about the expansion: "The new investment by Marquardt in Thuringia is, given the current global framework conditions, a strong signal of confidence .“ Since 2019, the company has been based south of the Thuringian state capital Erfurt, where it acquired a vacant building complex of 30,000 m² and started production there. For the family business headquartered in Rietheim-Weilheim, Baden‑Württemberg, the Free State plays a central role in the field of e‑mobility. "For years we have been experiencing very strong growth in the area of electric mobility. Our location in Thuringia plays a central role in this business field. Not least because of the high industry competence in the region and the close connection to the Erfurt Kreuz, we feel reinforced to invest sustainably in this site and to create further attractive and secure jobs“," explained the Chairman of the Board of the Marquardt Group, Dr. Harald Marquardt. LEG authorized signatory Dr. Arnulf Wulf adds that the support of LEG as a one‑stop agency has also played a significant role here. (hw)
